BAGABONES ™ BAGS: a lifestyle choice to (en)lighten the load
BAGABONES ™ BAGS lightens the load off your shoulders and the environment by UPCYCLING. Upcycling re-purposes useless materials into new products of better quality to decrease global waste. The bones of the bags are unused polypropylene shipping material from the Dutch company Basell–which brings all things plastic into being (like bottles, crocs (r), and most anything plastic you see).
These are bags without a carbon footprint and made to last. Certainly something handy to have when running from class to audition to yoga to the gym or any other active chase involved with being professional 'Movers' or dancers. -James Koroni

I had the privilege of working with the creator of Bagabones, Jonathan Nosan, in The Fringe Festival this year. Every aspect of his creative process was carefully defined. Examples of which are being sure to communicate by breathing consciously, walking stealthily, turning with grace or even within stillness find value.
Before each performance members of the audience were asked to take an offering of one penny and later return it into a hand crafted urn made by Jonathan Nosan. This to me was an analogy of our relationship with the environment. The planet will not stand a chance if we constantly take more new resources without reciprocating its generosity. The penny filled urn later was incorporated in the story of which Jonathan performed a riveting and powerful performance both physically and mentally. He not only uses this relationship in the symbology of his story but also in this new eco-friendly bag collection!
